The Dog Likes His Socks

So randomly you'll find socks all around the house. Near a door.

Ok, you might find two socks... like they're supposed to be together (but really they're not...)

He'd take them outside with him if he could. He's a strange dog that way. Never actually chews on them, but enjoys socks.

What a goonie...

The Goon in The Garden

He loves to lay and sleep in the cool dirt.

And listen for chipmunks.

And sunbathe.

And seriously look for squirrels in the neighbor's trees and in the vines.

P.S. Do you see the silver car in the back? It's Bimmer Man's loaner. It's like a 1983 BMW 5 series. It's pretty much as old as me. It's retro and I think it's awesome.

Ahhh... Rusty... He's starting to get some gray hair and I feel sorta bad because he's only about 2 1/2.

When are dogs supposed to go gray? When do they normally start going gray?

Do they make hair club for dogs???

Big Butt Rusty

Ah... my dog's rear end is bigger than mine.

The MONSTER Sleeps

We have dog beds all over the house and with fosters I generally have to drag two dog beds all over the house with me wherever I end up so that each dog has a dog bed.

Now Rusty can have a dog bed in every room and I don't have to drag them around with me anymore. Ahh... Rusty sleeps when there's no foster to play with... Don't you just want to curl up on the dog bed with him and take a nap? He looks so comfy!

Fun Friday Foto

Cora and Rusty. Sleeping on the couch. Cora's favorite thing was to sleep on Rusty.
In the car, on the couch downstairs, on a random dog bed, in the backyard. If Rusty was laying down, Cora would lay right on him.

Mario & Rusty In The Yard

Floppy Ears

I'm a sucker for the floppy ears.

Mario has got those sweet eyes and ears down to a science for getting a carrot.

Just Hangin' Out

Even Rusty Gets A Treat!

Rusty helped celebrate my birthday last weekend with the help of some fabulous friends.
He loves his dog treats and pretty much knows to keep the crumbs contained in his dog bed.
Don't his treats look like people treats too?
Our friend Kristin stopped at a doggy bakery (Rusty can't have ice cream cake, right?).
And he definitely enjoyed the goodies!
Oh... totally messy doggie...
At least he eats the crumbs too!
Nom... Nom... Nom...

I hope Rusty has a sense of humor. We were laughing the whole time watching him eat his treats!

Get Your Own Towel

Rusty knows "On Your Bed" so well that he does it automatically.
Seriously.
If you put a blanket, towel or any other square/rectangular/soft object he'll go to it and lay down automatically.
Yes, he does.

And he did. He chose to jump out of the kiddie pool and onto MY towel. Yes, MY TOWEL.

Thanks, Rusty. We didn't have any other clean beach towels.

Oh, and the orange thing is a Kong Wubba - it floats so we toss it into the pool for Rusty to chase around.
